Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate any advice that you might be able to give concerning eARC and my system.
I've just upgraded and set up, my home cinema system.
My kit consists of the following :-
LG OLED77C8LLA
Marantz 7015 avr
Panasonic DP-UB820 dvd
Virgin tivo cable box
Denon DHTS 216 soundbar
M&K 3x S150, 2 x SS150, 2 x550 THX, MX350 Ultra THX sub and 4 X Definitive Technology DI 6.5s in ceiling speakers.
For a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos set up.
My problem is that the LG tv only has 1 ARC HDMI socket. Does this affect me when, because I want to watch films etc from my Virgin box or avr in lossless, TrueHD etc?
I would also like to be able to switch the sound, so as when I want to say, watch tv through the Virgin box and use my sound bar, I don't have to unplug the HDMI lead from the avr's, cable input and plug it into the tv's input, but can use the tv's remote to select another HDMI setting?
It's not important to me to get lossless, ie Dolby TrueHD through the soundbar. ARC is fine.
Am I right in thinking that?, even though the Marantz has got Earc it still means that because of the LG's Arc HDMI socket, I will still be only able to get compressed Atmos and not the lossless, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS:X.
I've read about products like the Arcana, which I believe is getting a newer model release soon or does anyone know about this one, Puretools eARC audio adapter.
Once again, I thank you in advance for any advice/help you may be able to give me in this regard.
